History of steel First production of iron approx 2000 BC Around 1400 - blast furnace heated with charcoal Complicated production of steel as the furnaces were not able to produce sufficient temperature to melt iron Usage only for tools and weapons In 1784 modern steel is produced by reduction of carbon (Cort , England) First use for civil engineering around 1780 In 1813 production of coke was invented which allowed large amount of steel to be produced (Derby, England)

Application of steel Europe 8 % of produced steel is used for civil engineering 3 % for concrete reinforcement 5 % for steel structures
Czech Republic 15 % of produced steel is used for civil engineering 10 % for concrete reinforcement 5 % for steel structures
Large amount of steel is used for reinforcement, this is caused by tradition of building reinforced concrete structure and by aim to save the steel for military application in 1960-1990 It is expected the amount of steel for steel structures will increase slowly to level observed in Europe 18

Steel - what is it? Steel - best structural material considering the weight to strength ratio Steel is an alloy of iron (Fe) and carbon (C). Other elements are also included to influence various properties of steel Steel = malleable iron → C 2,1% Steel for civil engineering → C < 0,2%

Production of pig iron Steel is produced in a two-stage process. First, iron ore is reduced or smelted with coke and limestone in a blast furnace iron ore = hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) coke = almost pure carbon (produced from black coal)
The coke reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon monoxide (CO) 2 C + O2 → 2 CO Part of the iron ore (here the reactions are shown for hematite) reacts directly with the carbon (at high temperture, in the lower part of the furnace) 2 Fe2O3 + 3 C → 4 Fe + 3 CO2 The rest of the iron ore reacts with the carbon monoxide (at lower temperture) Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 The flux (limestone) is used to remove impurities (mainly silicon dioxide, SiO2) → slag Products: pig iron (contains approx. 4 - 5% of carbon and impurities (sulphur - S, manganese - Mn, magnesium - Mg, phosphorus - P), used for further processing to obtain steel) slag (used for road construction, etc.)
41
Production of steel In the second stage, known as steelmaking, the impurities such as sulphur (S), phosphorus (P), and excess carbon are removed. Alloying elements such as manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) and vanadium (V) are added to influence the properties of steel The process is performed by one of these methods in oxygen converters (the most common method) in electrical furnaces (only for high quality steels, usually not for civil engineering)
Products: various types of steel The full process (from iron ore and black coal to final products - steel sheets and sections) is often integrated to a single factory - steel mill
42
21
Production of steel - steel mill An integrated steel mill has all the functions for primary steel production iron making (conversion of iron ore to liquid iron - pig iron using blast furnaces), coke furnace to produce coke from black coal (and other chemicals as by-products) steelmaking (conversion of pig iron to liquid steel by removing the excess carbon), casting (solidification of the liquid steel, molten steel is cast into large blocks called ingots), or continuous casting roughing rolling/billet rolling (reducing size of blocks) product rolling (to get finished shapes). 43
Production of steel - steel mill Sintering - pre-processing of the iron ore Coke oven - to produce coke from black coal by distillation at approx. 1000ºC (other products as coal gas, ammonium, benzen, xylen and coal tar are produced, but these are not used in steel making) Blast furnace - to produce pig iron (high carbon content and impurities) Converter - to remove excess carbon (alloying elements can be added) Electric arc furnace - another method to produce steel from pig iron mostly from scrap (pig iron can be added) Continuous casting - to allow the liquid steel to solidify, slabs are produced for further processing - rolling Rolling mill - to produce the final products (steel sheets in coils are shown here, but many different products can be obtained steel sheets, I, H, L etc. sections, reinforcing bars for concrete, etc.)

Steel production Goal: to eliminate the of excess carbon Discontinued methods in Bessemer converters, 1855-1968 in open hearth furnace (Siemens-Martin process), 1865-1990 the older method, now is rarely used and replaced by other methods Modern methods basic oxygen steelmaking in oxygen converters, 1952-present the most common method at present, approx. 60% of steel is produced this way in electric arc furnaces , 1907-present only for special types of steel - high electricity consumption, therefore expensive, not used for steel for civil engineering 46
23
Open hearth furnace Siemens – Martin process furnace is heated by gas need of additional source of energy (gas), quite expensive and slow (approx 8-12 hours/batch) = not efficient can take 50 to 100 tons of steel, can process high amount of scrap or cold pieces of pig iron (up to 80% of volume) hot air is blown into the molten iron to burn the carbon (carbon dioxide is created) and the impurities (various oxides are created which flow atop the steel and create slag) most furnaces were closed in 1990’, now used only in Russia and India

Basic oxygen steelmaking Oxygen converter process invented by Henry Bessemer in 1858 but introduced into industry in 1950’ when pure oxygen was available at large quantities and low price converter = thick walled vessel with calcium or magnesium oxide lining to withstand high temperature it is filled with liquid pig iron and scrap which melts there the oxygen is driven into the molten iron at high pressure and high velocity (exceeding 1 Mach) through water cooled jet carbon included in the iron is burned producing carbon monoxide and dioxide → carbon content is reduced no additional heat source, heat is released from carbon oxidation (proper ratio of pig iron and scrap is important) silicon and phosphorus oxides flow on top of the molten iron forming the slag can take 200 to 300 tons of steel, fast process, it takes approx. 40 minutes other substances could be added to the molten steel when conversion is complete the most common method at present, more than 70 % of steel in CR was produced in oxygen converters in 2004

Electric arc furnace high production cost, huge consumption of energy (furnace often operate off peak hours to use cheap electricity) used for high quality (alloyed) steel, stainless steel not used for structural steel typical capacity is 80 tons, the largest has capacity 300 tons (in Turkey) the furnace is filled with scrap and pig iron (solid or liquid), which are heated and melted by electric arc oxygen is blown into the molten metal to oxidize the impurities (they form slag flowing atop) and reduce carbon content alloying elements can be added to molten steel fast process, takes approx. 70 minutes The roof of an arc furnace removed, showing the three carbon electrodes

For scale, note the operator standing on the platform at upper left. This is a 1941-era photograph and so does not have the extensive dust collection system that a modern installation would have, nor is the operator wearing a hard hat or dust mask
51
Chemical composition of steel The Influence of Carbon Carbon is the main alloying element in steel it increases tensile strength and hardness it reduces ductility and fracture toughness steel → carbon content < 2,1% (carbon is diluted in iron forming various crystalline structures) cast iron → carbon content > 2,1% (carbon is presented in cementite = iron carbide Fe3C, which is very hard and brittle) steel for civil engineering → carbon content < 0,2% weldability can be expressed as carbon equivalent (substitute content of the alloying elements in percents by mass)
CEV C
Mn Cr Mo V Ni Cu 6 5 15
CEV < 0, 4 to ensure good weldability 52
26
Iron-carbon equilibrium phase diagram iron alloy crystallizes in various modifications with very different properties the most important (for the steels used in civil engineering) are ferrite, pearlite and austenite austenite = iron (which can dissolve considerable amount of carbon) forms at temperatures above 750 ºC → soft, strong, ductile when slowly cooled, austenite will change to ferrite and pearlite ferrite = α iron can not dissolve carbon (=pure iron), therefore pearlite (lamellar structure of ferrite and cementite = iron carbide - Fe3C) forms to accommodate the carbon → soft, strong, ductile

53
Heat treatment Heat treatment is used to influence the mechanical properties of steel when steel is cooled naturally in the air, it is normalised, ferrite and pearlite are formed → soft, strong, ductile annealing is the process of heating the steel to a sufficiently high temperature to soften it. This process occurs through three phases: recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth. It is used to recover “damaged grains” after forming, rolling, etc. when steel is cooled rapidly (quenched) austenite will not change to ferrite and pearlite as the atoms do not “have time” to form the pearlite instead, martensite forms, it has long thin lens-shaped crystal (not shown on the phase diagram, it is not an equilibrium phase) → hard, brittle, usually not desired martensite can be easily “destroyed” by heat = steel needs to be heated below the transformation temperature and allowed to cool slowly = tempering many high strength steels require certain amount of martensite (to get desired hardness and strength) - they are quenched and tempered until only the desired amount of martensite exists
54
27
Chemical composition of steel The Influence of other alloying elements nickel - Ni and manganese - Mn add to tensile strength and make austenite more chemically stable, increase the resistance to brittle fracture chromium - Cr increases hardness and melting temperature vanadium - V increases hardness while reducing the effects of metal fatigue copper - Cu increase corrosion resistance (weather resistant steel steel Corten, Atmofix), but decrease the mechanical properties (max. content 0,4%)
sulphur - S, nitrogen - N, and phosphorus - P make steel more brittle, needs to be removed oxygen - O, nitrogen - N, undesirable, contribute to aging of steel (decrease of toughness over time) these gases are presented as small bubbles, when oxygen is removed by adding aluminum powder, the steel is “killed” the chemical composition has influence on the weldeability (shown before) expressed as carbon equivalent
CEV C
Mn Cr Mo V Ni Cu 6 5 15 55
Deoxidation of steel Deoxidized steel is steel that has some or all of the oxygen removed from the melt during the steelmaking process. Liquid steels contain dissolved oxygen after their conversion from molten iron, but the solubility of oxygen in steel decreases with temperature. As steel cools, excess oxygen escapes (the steel seems to be “boiling”because of the bubbles escaping), can cause blowholes or precipitate FeO → not desired. Adding metallic deoxidizing agents to the melt will remove the oxygen Types of steel: Killed steel - steel with all oxygen removed, quietly solidify in the mould, with no
gas bubbling out
Semi-killed steel - mostly deoxidized steel, but the carbon monoxide is presented as smal bubbles creating a porosity. This is removed after rolling. Mostly used for structural steel. Rimmed - no deoxidizing agents, used for cold forming and drawing Capped
56
28
Chemical composition of steel Types of steel carbon steel, composed simply of iron and carbon, accounts for 90% of steel production. It has small additions (usually < 2% by weight) of other elements, typically 1,5% manganese - Mn, to provide additional strength for a modest price increase. low alloy steel is alloyed with other elements, usually molybdenum - Mo, manganese - Mn, chromium - Cr, or nickel - Ni, in amounts of up to 10% by weight to improve the hardenability of thick sections. stainless steels and surgical stainless steels contain a minimum of 11% chromium, often combined with nickel, to resist corrosion (rust). It is used mainly for because of architect wishes, it is very expensive (there are other methods of corosion protection, much cheaper). weathering steels such as Corten, Atmofix, which weather by acquiring a stable, rusted surface, and so can be used un-painted. It contains small amount of copper Cu. many other types exist which are not used in civil engineering tool steels, which are alloyed with large amounts of tungsten and cobalt, used in axes, drills, and other devices that need a sharp, long-lasting cutting edge dual-phase steel, which is heat treated to contain both a ferritic and martensitic microstructure for extra strength etc. 57
Ingots casting an ingot is steel, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing the mold is conical to allow stripping crack creates on top, approx. 20% of the ingot must be cut of and melted again - not efficient method old method, now replaced by continuous casting, only 4% of steel is cast into ingots at present
Teeming ingots at a steel mill
Ingots stripped from the moulds

58
29
Continuous casting molten metal is tapped into the ladle from furnaces after treatment (alloying and degassing) it is transferred to tundish (a reservoir) then it is poured to water cooled mould, where the surface of the steel solidifies it is passed to a set of rollers which transport it away from the mould (as new steel is being poured into the mold), it is sprayed with water for additional cooling at the end, the continuous strip is cut to pieces typically, slabs thickness 180250 mm, width up to 1600 mm, length up to 12 m are produced at velocity 1,4 m/min other products are available this method is used for 96% of steel
